Flash intensity control
This adjusts the amount of light emitted by the flash. 
In some situations (e.g., when shooting small subjects, distant backgrounds, 
etc.), you may get better results by adjusting light emission. It is useful when 
you intend to increase the contrast (distinction between light and dark) of 
images to make the images more vivid.

compensation.
